Sarah Palin blasts Sheriff Clarence Dupnik; uses anti-semitic “blood libel” digs deeper hole. Plus display flag backwards, Video. #boulder #Tuscon
Jan 13th
The display of the US flag in Sarah Palins video is upside down and backwards. No media has seem to catch that as of yet. Did Palin do that intentionally to insult Americans? perhaps. She recently autographed The American flag which is considered defacing the flag and an insult. Her recently staged video attack on Tucson, Jews and the flag has sent Palins political career in to a nose dive. She and her reckless tea partys days on the American landscape are over. Now will the real Tina Fey please stand up.
####
Her use of the term blood libel to categorize the attacks against her and other conservatives was the chatter of the social networks in which she communicates. The term—a slur alluding to the idea that Jews feed on the blood of Christians—was, at the very least, a bad word choice. It did not convey her meaning clearly. She confused or alienated anyone she was trying to convince. And if it was meant to address only her base of core supporters, then it was an act of ill-timed agitation. from slate byJohn Dickerson
